In Reply to: RE: How is that different than what Bryston did ?..... posted by Cut-Throat on August 26, 2016 at 04:45:57
There is more than one board, but you can DIY the exact same thing as the Bryston for about $100 plus a good linear power supply, maybe another $80. You do not power the PI directly for best sound, you power it through the HIFIBerry SPDIF+.

One board, two boards..... Dac or no Dac..... They took a Pi and put a Fancy case around it...... Big Deal !

Do you comprehend what is actually being discussed here?
The point is that Bryston did exactly what DIYers did. They just happened to have packaged the Pi in a fancy case. Whether they used the PI alone or with a Hifi Berry to provide a digital out is not relevant. One board or two boards does not matter. They did none of the real engineering themselves.

Ok but it is not that always that simple, and many people do not have the ability to build something themselves. They are the customers for audiophile products.
If you do not think they are of value, fine... But there are people who will come to a different conclusion. From my testing of a similar DIY configuration, IMO they have a very good product.
Trying to a school a troll who spouts off about products they have no experiences with is the definition of fruitless endeavor.
